 The DeKalb County Parks
Initiative started with a group of people
interested in exploring the
possibility of establishing a county parks system that would conserve and develop parks
for DeKalb County.
Wood-Land-Lakes has made ourselves available to the DeKalb County Parks
Initiative group. As a committee
under our umbrella, we can provide a variety of assistance including,
facilitation of meetings; assistance in locating funding; serving as financial administrators for grants; promotion
of networking and communication by bringing all parties to the table;
and in organizing, guiding and assisting the group to become a legally
recognized not-for-profit organization.
The DeKalb County Parks
Initiative is currently on hold, but there is much hope of
reviving this worthwhile, county-wide endeavor. DeKalb County residents
have voiced a desire for such a park system, and it has been included as
part of the DeKalb County Master Plan.
With the interest of some of the
original participants as well as new volunteers with a fresh perspective,
the DeKalb County Parks Initiative could be well underway to becoming
the DeKalb County Parks SYSTEM! |
